Incinerators provide a very important function of disposing of waste, reducing hazards that can be caused by exposure to untreated material. Many countries in Europe generate energy from incineration of their waste, Switzerland being a prime example.
The insignificance of the environmental impact from an incinerator can be established by comparing it to other air emitting processes such as thermal power plants, cement factories, sugar industries, oil refineries to name a few, or naturally occurring instances. For example, emissions from vehicular traffic from a busy road will generate pollutants at levels many times that of an
This does not mean that an incinerator is pollution free, but all efforts must be made to achieve the highest and most practical emission standards. However, incineration today is a clean and environmentally sound form of waste management and emission values can be controlled extremely well.
“Model GD-3 and GD-6 incinerators cater to all the waste generated in our hatchery plant. Working satisfactorily and no smoke is visible. We appreciate HAAT in helping us to dispose off our hatchery waste and mortality effectively.” - Dr. S.V. Deshpande, Manager, Venco Research and Breeding Farms Ltd.
